TODAY’S WAR RECIPE
Baked Bread Pudding—Six ounces of
stale bread, three tablespoonfuls of
stoned raisins, one tablespoonful cur
rants, one and a half tablespoonfuls
chopped suet, one tablespoonful sugar,
one egg, nutmeg or spice to taste, milk
as required. The pieces should be
broken up and soaked in cold water
(just enough to cover) until quite soft.
Drain away the water, and squeeze the
bread as dry as possible. Beat untU
quite smooth —any lumps left will spoil
the pudding —and mix into it the fruit,
sugar suet, beaten egg, spice and a
little milk. The mixture should be
slack enough to drop easily from a
spoon. Put into a well greased dish,
and bake in a gentle oven for a little
over an hour. This should be sufficient
for four persons. “The Child Who
Saves Bread is a Soldier, Too'.’—Taken

ATLANTA WOMEN TO
GET VOTE—IF.
Atlanta women will not only be per
mitted to pay taxes, wash dishes, boss
their husbands, do fire relief work and
cultivate war gardens, but will also be
given the right to vote along with the
men on all municipal questions—
If the charter revisioncommittee
adopts the recommendations of the
Atlanta Equal Suffrage association, and
if the city council and the legislature
and the voters themselves loosen up
and give the women the ballot for
which they have craved so long.
A resolution calling upon the com
mittee to incorporate in the new char
ter a provision for municipal woman
suffrage was passed at a meeting of
the Atlanta Equal Suffrage association
held Saturday. The resolution was
ia the form of an open letter to the
charter revision committee.
Addresses on municipal suffrage
were made at the meeting by Mrs.
Mary L. McLendon, Mrs. Amelia R
Woodall and Mrs. H. T. Martin. The
suffragists expressed themselves as be
ing optimistic as to the outcome of the
movement for municipal woman suff
rage.
FIRST EULOGY OF BASEBALL
UMPIRE EVER YET PUBLISHED
NEW YORK, June 18—“ Pushed into
the background, unnoticed, put per
forming his duty day after day, the
umpire leads a sorry life, writes H. C.
Hamilton. But he has the satisfaction
of knowing it is he and no other who
has upheld the integrity of baseball,
kept it free from suspicion all the days
of its existence,” declared one of the
oldest arbiters in the game recently.
“Don’t show me an umpire,” he said
“who never was threatened with vio
lence at the hands of a bunch of rabid,
baseball bugs. He isn’t a eral umpire
The close ones have to go against
somebody, and a man who makes all his
close ones count for the home club is a
bad man for the game.
“Baseball players will cheat, because
that's what they’re taught to do
They’ll cut a base if they can. They’ll
do anything they think they can get
away with. The home fan calls him a
smart man, cute and clever, and the
umpire has to catch these slips. He s
got to make that man walk the line
light. It’s the man out there in blue,
reviled by the fans, unnoticed when
good things are said of the game, that
is keeping this game clean.
“I walked into the gate of a base
bail park today as a woman with r
child entered. She saw us and laugh
ed at us, and she actually told the lit
tle boy to laugh at us. She was teach
ing that child to call us robbers when
he grows up. It’s disgusting.
“But so long as baseball is the hard,
tight affair that it is now; so long as
the public wants to see the hard-fought
games it’s going to be that the umpire
is expected to have a clear head. He
has to have the nerve to enforce the
rules of the game every time something
happens. No matter what it is, he
has only one course to take—the right
one. It certainly is he who is keeping
the game free from criticism.”
VON-BETHMANN-HOLLWEG
DECLARED OF FRENCH ORIGIN
BORDEAUX, France, June 18.—Dr.
von Bethmann-Hollweg, the German
chancellor, was recently declared by a
paper in Paris to be of French origin,
descending Prom a Bordeaux family.
The possibility that the chancellor des
cended from a family that once exist
ed in Bordeaux is admitted here, but it
is denied that he has any French
blood in his veins.
The Bethmanns who founded ths
family that existed in Bordeaux and
l aris came from Frankfort to Bor
deaux in the eighteenth century and
were of Israelite origin, according to
the version prevalent here. The name
is half Hebrew and half German, beth
meaning house in Hebrew and mane
meaning man in German. The hyp
henated name Bethmann-Hollweg. it is
explained, originated in the marriage
of a sister of the Bethmann brothers,
v. ho were bankers in Paris and Bor
deaux, to a German named Hollweg.
Hollweg succeeding to a part of the
banking business and considering the
name Bethmann of greater commercial
value than his own, inverted the usual
order and this new’ family became th 3
Bethmann-Hollweg family from which
the German chancellor may or may
not descend.

KILBANE EXPLAINS HOW
HE BEAT FREDDIE WALSH
NEW YORK, June 18.—The terrific
beating doled out to Freddie Welsh
when he met Johnny Kilbane in New
Ycrk probably is as much responsi
ble as anything for the fact that Benny
Leonard is now lightweight champion
of the world.
Jimmy Euan believes it, Kilbane is
certain of it, and more than one fol
lower of the fistic game is inclined to
believe there is something in it.
It is undeniably true that Welsh re
ceived a thorough pasting from Kil
bane, and it is also an unchallenged
fact that Welsh was faster in his
blocking and had more speed w’hen he
started with Kilbane than when he met
the New York lightweight.
Kilbane hit Welsh everywhere, ex
cept right on the spot that Welsh al
ways had kept covered until he met
Leonard. If Kilbane had been given
the same opportunity for victory that
presented itself to Leonard, he proba
bly would be wearing a crown on each
angle of his curled locks.
“The only thing I am sorry for,’
Kilbane declared after he had seen
Champoin Welsh uncrowned, “is that
I wasn’t in there instead of Leonard. I
don’t want to take any credit from
Leonard. He’s a grand little scrapper.
But I certainly believe I would have
finished Welsh that night quicker than
he did. I started Welsh to oblivion
and Leonard finished the truck.”
Dunn declared kilbane a much bet
ter workman in the ring than Leon
ard,
“Kilbane is a one-punch knockout,”
he declared, "and Leonard is not. If
Kilbane had been in the ring with
Welsh the night he lost the champion
ship instead of Leonard, you wouldn’t
be hearing any arguments as to
whether or not the referee erred in
not counting over Welsh. Mr. Welsh
would have been on the floor, and he
would have been carried to his corner,
if Johnny had landed on his head. Be
lieve me. that’s right. If you don’t
believe Kilbane hits hard you might
ask George Chaney.”
The argument over which of these
champions is the more sudden finisher
and whether one is really so much
better than the other probably will
soon be settled, for arrangements are
being made to bring them together. The
match probably will be pulled off July
4, either in Ohio or New oYrk.

weekly payments at any bank.
MANY NATIONALITIES AMONG
BUYERS OF LIBERT YBONDS
ATLANTA, Gia., June 18. —Checking
of purchasers of Liberty bonds in ths
Sixth (Atlanta) federal reserve dis
trict closes the interesting fact that
Americans of all nations are on the
list, including Chinese, Japanese, Hin
dus, Turks, Greeks and Italians, and
even some Germans who are not natur
alized. Among Atlanta’s foreign pop
ulation the Greeks were the most en
thusiastic purchasers of Liberty Bonds.
They never fail to show their patriot
ism on every fitting occasion. In At
lanta' preparedness parade last July
4th, they marched en masse, after clos
ing their restaurants and fruit stands
at the busiest hour of the day. On June
5 they registered en masse, then went
to the capitol and were reviewed by
the governor with American flags fly
ing. Among Greek restauranteurs,
waiters, fruit venders and bootblacks
there is probably a larger proportion of
Liberty Bond buttons than one car.

MOTORMAN IS AFRAID OF ANY
GIRL DRIVING AN ELECTRIC
ATLANTA, Ga„ June 18.—Motor
an Sam Splice, who runs a street
car on Peachtree street in this city, is
more afraid of a girl driving an elec
tric than he is of a grizzly bear. Every
time he sees one he turns as red as a
beet and trembles in his shoes. Here
is one reason why.
An Atlantian recently gave his wife
an electric for* ia birthday present,
and in due course of time she learned
to run it. She is a pretty woman, with
a very gentle, soft-spoken way about
her, and all the traffic policemen are
friendly to her, so that she runs her
car about as she pleases.
One bright morning she was rolling
out Peachtree street on the street car
rails, and immediately behind her was
Motorman Splice, in a hurry because
he was five minutes behind schedule
Presently they struck a long grade,
and the little electric slowed down to
about four miles an hour, still on the
rails. A string of wagons and cars
were parked along the curb, the street
was narrow and the little lady could
not find a place to turn out. Automo
bile horns began to snarl behind the
street car. Motorman Splice got im
patient. He began to clang his gong.
After standing the racket for a
block, the little lady stopped her elec
tric, got out and walked back to the
street car, and asked in her sweetest
tone: “Mr. Motorman, do you think
you can drive that little thing any
faster than I am?” To which Sam
Splice respectfully replied: “No, Lady.
1 don’t." Smiling she said: “Then
please stop ringing your bell, for if
you don’t I’m going to get out again
and leave it tsanding right there on
the track.
The procession crawled on to the
top of the grade.
ATLANTA SAYS SHE IS GOING
TO BE A CLEAN TOWN SOON
ATLANTA, Ga„ June 18.—Atlanta is
going to be a clean town when the
government assembles 40,000 recruits
at the concentration camp here to train
them for fighting in France. Uncle
Sam himself has announced that the
city must be clean, and the county and |
city authorities have announced their
intention of co-operating with him.
The first step in the clean-up cam
paign in preparation for the coming of
the soldiers was taken early yesterday
morning when the police raided a
large apartment house in the down
town section and hauled out the guest i
of an upstairs hotel near the terminal
station. ,These will be followed by
frequent intervals until every estab
lishment of doubtful character has
been put out o fbusiness.
Three commissioners sent here by
the war department have called in the
county and city authorities anr noti
fy d them that Atlanta must be cleaned
up. They have stated that unless At
lanta is cleaned up, the government
will either move the concentration
camp of place the city under martial
law. Os course Atlanta has no inten
tion of losing the concentration camp,
and the local authorities will, there
fore, co-operate with the representa
tives of the dar department
Soldiers on the fighting line must be
in the best of physical condition. They
are like football players in training.
To expose recruits in the concentra
tion camp to the perils of women .wine
and cards would be disastrous. Hence
the government is determined that
gambiers, blind tigers and women of
bad repute shall not sojourn in reach
of them.
After a Bad Day.
If you are weary after a fatiguing
day, on reaching home take ten min
utes’ rest lying prone on the back.
When you rise cleanse the face with
cold cream, rubbing lightly across the
lines and in an upward direction to
correct sagging of the muscles. A
cloth wet in very hot water should
then be applied, followed by several
applications of cold water. You will
be surprised to find yourself qulV
rejuvenated.
Divided Prayers.
It was just before Christmas and
Tommy was praying for Santa Claus
to bring him a long list of things he
wanted. Finally mother said: “I am
afraid you are asking for too much at
one time.” The next night he ended
his prayer with the usual list, then
added: “And please bring me a big
dog and cart; I will pray tor the har
ness tomorrow.”
Not Satisfactory.
Margaret was an unusually naughty
little girl. One day when she had
been more than ordinarily obstreper
ous her father said to her: “Why
don’t you try being good, Margaret,
and see bow it would go?” Margaret
stopped crying to reply: “I did try
it once, papa, and I didn’t get any sat
isfaction out of it-"
